IRC the problem for any 3D screen-based system is the fact that your eyes need to both
1) focus on the screen while simultaneously
2) converging (right and left eyes pointing) to a locus behind (or of the screen).
This is an unnatural thing to do - a bit like crossing your eyes without noticing. If you do it for a long time it has a lasting aftereffect where you can't see real world distances properly for some hours afterwards.
If your eyes are still learning to make sense of the world (like children's) they can be fooled in learning wrong things about the world - such as it is normal to focus at one depth and converge at another - thus doing permanent damage
As a failing peculiar to animate visual systems, visual illusions might be used to distinguish humans from "computer bots"... This approach inverts, and complements, the logic of the Turing test: not requiring evidence of an intelligent capacity equivalent to that of human beings, but rather that of a characteristic human failing.
Gullibility is in the eye of the beholder. Close the eye and you lose that gullibility. Indiscriminate advertising get's what it merits if it treats all as equally gullible.
All should have the right to divert their eyes away from what is trying to take advantage of them. Some people have a high tolerance to this "being taken as gullible"; Others less; It's a question of degrees: Ad-blocking is for those, like me, who are disturbed by indiscriminate advertising in the same way as Cayce was allergic to brand in Pattern Recognition by William Gibson

As a failing peculiar to animate visual systems, visual illusions might be used to distinguish humans from "computer bots", or any other artificial intelligence empowered with a visual capacity. Any such entity is unlikely to suffer the same illusions as our own, unless, of course, it has been specifically engineered to do so.

You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a winter's night a traveler. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel ever other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best to close the door; the TV is always on in the next room. Tell others right away, "No, I don't want to watch TV!" Raise your voice--they won't hear you otherwise--"I'm reading! I don't want to be disturbed!" . . . So here you are now, ready to attack the first lines of the first page. You prepare to recognize the unmistakable tone of the author...
READ IT!
